The Motorcycle Party.

[Big Dave]

BYO.

No, I mean how hard would it be to start a single issue political party and get someone elected?

Is there enough motorcyclists?

[Quasievil]

BYO.

No, I mean how hard would it be to start a single issue political party and get someone elected?

yeah mate, I reckon we could do that, need a 5% threshold to get a seat though dont we?
can I be minister for diplomacy, I think I would be good at that.

[MIXONE]

Count me in but I want Winston Peters' job.

[Gubb]

Shotgun Secret Service.

As long as we keep DMNTD in as Treasurer, and SpankMe as Foreign Affairs.

[N1CK]

I guess I could move my vote from the Greens to the motorcycle party.

[jrandom]

Sorry, dude, my vote's going to the ALCP.

Try lobbying the sober bikers.

:doobey:

[Katman]

Minister for Personal Responsibility.

:msn-wink:

[Colapop]

We couldn't pull the Curtains Party together either.

[Katman]

Did you call it curtains?

[oldrider]

BYO.

It's not so much about getting elected, it's more about getting your deposit back!

Worse still: If you don't make a big enough impression you wont even get your message across and will lose your deposit too! :brick:

Good question though, are there enough motorcyclists to make a political impact? :confused: John.

[Big Dave]

Did you call it curtains?

Yeah, but there were strings attached

[mstriumph]

Shotgun Secret Service.

As long as we keep DMNTD in as Treasurer, and SpankMe as Foreign Affairs.

thought he was partnered ..... is he allowed to HAVE affairs?? :confused:

[Katman]

Yeah, but there were strings attached

I hope you didn't stage your own demise.

[twotyred]

Mental Trousers for Minister of wimmins affairs or perhaps Internal Affairs?

[mstriumph]

Could i please be ministerette in charge of spending lotsa money on long lunches and longer limos and :banana: overseas trips?

[Gubb]

...Limo's in a Biker Party?

[Mully]

No, I mean how hard would it be to start a single issue political party and get someone elected?

Not just motorcyclists - motorcyclists families as well.

Be interesting to see, with the price of dinosaur juice going up, and the explosion of bike sales as a result if political parties start listening to motorcyclists a bit more carefully in the future.

[Skyryder]

Skyryder

[Coyote]

[Coyote]

:doobey:
I like how they chose to use Aotearoa rather than New Zealand.

[Big Dave]

So what's the single issue??

Skyryder

Free Whales.

[Skyryder]

Free Whales.

Well ya just lost the Jappa vote.

Skyryder

[MadDuck]

Free Whales.

Not sure I would know what to do with a Whale even if it was for free

[Big Dave]

Would you believe: Dams?

[rogson]

Yeah, it's possible.....

There were 2.3 million voters in the 05 election, which was 81% of the total electoral roll.

In 06 there were about 475,000 motorcycle licence holders (all types -18 and over).

If 81% of motorcycle licence holders vote and only motorcycle licence holders vote for the Motorcycle Party you need about 30% of their party votes to get into Parliament (unless you stand-in and win an electoral seat - impossible I would think).

So who's on the list and in what order?
Any policies?

[paturoa]

We could have lots of party rallies, the expenses would all be tax deductable too.

I wonder if that millionare dude would not give us a huge donation as well?

[raftn]

Can i be finance minister............i like playing with money especially other peoples!.........or Transport minister...................ummmm...........boy that would be fun!.speed limit 160kms per hour bikes only..........suvs are banned...no cars allowed on the coro loop..........endless ideas.

[icekiwi]

I'm going to stand on the "No Tickets" ticket

[mbazza]

Jees, don't encourage the buggers! I don't listen too them or watch them (politicians) in case they are encouraged! ignore them - don't join them. Cheers. :argh:

[rottiguy]

Hey that's a coincidence I was going to start the "indecisive party" but I just couldn't make my mind up :blink:
